Abstract
Background and Nowadays the whole human race is undergoing a crisis caused by the COVID-19
Aim of Study: pandemic, whose duration and consequences are difficult to forecast. In the face of the
real danger we begin redefining conceptual bases of mankind, as well as the role of the
state as a guarantor of the health safety of its citizens and the world community.
The aim of the study: to explore the influence of different approaches to solving the
pandemic problem in Ukraine, Singapore, and China on the indicators of COVID-19
dynamics.

Material and Methods: A complex of methods was used: theoretical – factor-criterion analysis, abstraction,
comparison, synthesis, systematisation, generalisation; empirical – observational
methods (systematic observation); methods of mathematical analysis.

Results: The study of the indicators dynamics showed that different approaches to solving the
pandemic problem in Ukraine and Singapore had significant differences. Compared to
Singapore in Ukraine for 4 months in 2020, the number of COVID-19 cases is 22.5
times higher, the number of recovered is only 6.5 times higher, and the number of
deaths is multiple times higher: 2908.5 times. The connection between the dynamics of
the COVID-19 pandemic (cases, recovered, deaths) in Ukraine, Singapore, China and
the measures taken by the governments of these countries, as well as the personal
responsibility of the population, was determined in the study.

Conclusions: The infection which appeared in one country can transform into a global world problem
in a matter of seconds. Responsible policy and practice instead of manipulation and
bureaucracy are able to protect people of the risk group and create favourable
conditions for life activity of those who do not belong to this group. Important factors
in successfully overcoming the pandemic is the personal responsibility of citizens and
health culture of the population.
